is the way you can use it to learn more about someone or something, as well as just for fun. Often, when I am reading a book, I will look up clips about the subject. When I read Andre Agassi's autobiography, it was great to be able to watch clips of particular moments he mentioned in the book. I recently read a lovely compilation about Jennifer Paterson, of Two Fat Ladies fame. I hadn't seen the TV series for years, and had so much fun looking at that again. And, of course, there are all those long lost TV and film memories to enjoy again...

Besides solitaire, I waste a lot of time trimming music to ring-tone length and assigning different songs to different contacts...for all the many, many calls I don't get . Also, finding or taking the best (or most embarrassing, depending on my mood) photo of those contacts so they show up when they call or text. Change the wallpaper; those that come on the phone are much prettier than my own, but I prefer to use pictures I've taken of places that are meaningful to me. In other words, I mostly waste time in the truest sense of the phrase. But I have downloaded tracks from Spanish language CD's and I have been trying to re-learn some of the Spanish I've forgotten. It's muuuch easier to use my phone instead of a CD player, and it's with me whenever I have a some time to kill.

but it sounds fun. I will have a look for it. I just watched a few episodes of the original TV series. The book I read was:Enjoy!: A Celebration Of Jennifer Paterson Tribute To A Fat Lady By Her Friends. It was one of those books that is great to dip in and out of.

Clarissa's autobiography on audiobook. She has really had an odd life. As I suppose you picked up from things she said on the show, she is a recovered alcoholic, and a fully qualified lawyer. She suffered from a very abusive father, who was a doctor, and the family, though well-to-do, were all living in terror of him. If you get a chance to read it, it is fascinating.

I tried the Greedy Spiders game, but I sucked at it. My poor flies all got eaten.

Right now, I'm on a quest to get three stars on all my AB levels. I've done it on 3 levels so far. I only have the original AB, Seasons, and Rio. I accidentally loaded Rio before realizing it cost *gasp* niney-nine cents! The other two were free. Now they have a game from the pigs' point of view. I'm waiting for a few more reviews before I get it, but it looks really cute.

We LOVE that game! It requires you to build a contraption that conquers each level - and oh, the puzzle-solving involved.

The only thing that I have to say against it is that when you go to play a previously-played level, you see the previously-played contraption. Thus, if two (or four, in the Notta household) people play the game, the first to play a level spoils it for the later ones.
